An Old Betrayal: a Charles Lenox Mystery (Charles Lenox Mysteries)
“One of them was from Hampshire.
He had forgotten writing to his old school friend Peter Hughes, who lived in his family’s dilapidated castle not far from Farnborough. Once they had been very close friends indeed, and still, whenever Peter came to the capital, they had the same easy rapport they’d had when they were both fourteen, sneaking off to the shops near Harrow to buy sweets.
Leck Castle March 26 My dear Lenox, Are you sure you’ve come across Archie Godwin, and not mistaken someon...e else for him? He is not tall, nor fair-haired—quite the opposite, in fact. He is a member of White’s, however.
The Godwins have an odd reputation in this part of the world—not so much Archibald or Henrietta, for they keep very much to themselves, and decline nearly all social interaction—Archie barely even hunts, though he is, ex officio, as a Godwin, a member of the Beagles, which his great-grandfather founded. People in this part of Hampshire remember his father, Winthrop Godwin.MoreLess
